    Hi guys!

    I feel confident that I will find an easy fix for whatever this problem is.

    No dash sensors or lights are on. The tire pressure was but I just added more air to one tire and it went away.

    This doesn't have anything to do with the motor because its present while not accelerating. And in this video clip the road is completely smooth. Just listen

    150k. Newish tires though. One of the symptoms of wheel bearing going bad is loose steering wheel. I can feel that happening
